35.(26308-!-item-!-188;#058&003128)

Unlike the steam locomotive, which required an hour or two of firing up before it was possible to move under its own power, nearly full power could be summoned almost instantly from the cold engine of a diesel locomotive.

(A) it was possible to move under its own power, nearly full power could be summoned almost instantly from the cold engine of a diesel locomotive

(B) it was possible to move under its own power, the diesel locomotive's engine, when cold, could produce nearly full power almost instantly

(C) it could move under its own power, the diesel locomotive could summon nearly full power from a cold engine almost instantly

(D) moving under its own power, the cold engine of the diesel locomotive could produce nearly full power almost instantly

(E) moving under its own power, almost instantly a diesel locomotive could summon nearly full power from a cold engine

这题PREP解释给出E错的一个原因是almost instantly位置改变，引起修饰歧义
发现CE位置都改变了，为什么C就没有歧义，E就有歧义呢，E里的instantly还能修饰什么？

AmyGMAT

C里instantly只是修饰summon这个动词
而E把instantly放在句首，就修饰了整句话

weirui5621

哦 明白了，

那我再问下，这个A里的instantly是紧跟着summon

可是c已经离得很远了，这个在某种程度上也是在改变原意了吧，只是没有那么明显

AmyGMAT

它没有改变原意，在C里面那样子的表达不管离多远都是在修饰summon，当然离近点更优~
